' j ''HE author of this sketch begs the kind in- dulgence of his readers for introducing at the outset an incident of his early ecclesiastical career. While pursuing in the Catholic univer¬ sity the studies which he had commenced in the seminary, it was his custom to devote a part of his academic vacation to visiting hamlets and villages, particularly those in which he hoped to collect some details interesting to him as a priest, and to become acquainted with the re¬ ligious life of the inhabitants of the country. In the summer of 1841 he accompanied an ecclesiastic of Northern Brabant to the ancient barony of Breda, and while there enjoyed the kind hospitality of the venerable prelate who then governed the Diocese of Breda in the ca¬ pacity of vicar-apostolic. 8 Introduction. Mgr. Van Hooydonck delighted to speak of the excellent spirit of the inhabitants of those parts, who remained profoundly Catholic, not¬ withstanding the harassing war of persecution which Calvinistic intolerance had waged against them from the time of William the Silent until the reign of good King Louis. “And this tra¬ ditional spirit of our fathers,” he added, “ is reanimated to-day by the zeal of my diocesan clergy, and by the apostolic labors of the sons of Saint Alphonsus de Liguori. “ Not many years ago the religious habit was entirely unknown here, and even our secular priests met with many difficulties. It is now no longer so. Thanks to a beginning of justice on the part of the existing government, we enjoy sufficient freedom of worship, at least in the in¬ terior of our churches, and we are, moreover, allowed to save souls by means of retreats and regular missions, which are conducted by the fathers. “ The Redemptorists have accomplished for us incalculable good; they are, I assure you, the fishers of men, priests of holy skill in draw¬ ing the multitude to the altar, masters perfect in Introduction. 9 the art of healing souls in the tribunal of pen¬ ance, and guiding them in the path to heaven, ‘ not in loftiness of speech^ but in the showing of the Spirit and of power.' ” The following day the Bishop went to a populous parish in the deanery of Berg-op- Zoom, to preside at the closing of a mission which had lasted for ten days, and he wished to procure us the pleasure of witnessing this touching solemnity. Happy at receiving the invitation, we repaired to the place, and, having made the acquaintance of the pastor through Mgr. Van Hooydonck, we were seated in the sanctuary of the church-, which we found thronged with the faithful de¬ voutly reciting the rosary. The prayers being concluded, a priest, still in the prime of life, ascended the pulpit. He was a religious, armed with his mission cross, whose mere aspect impressed me deeply. It was the same father whose portrait I had seen in many Brabant families, and of whom they related many marvellous things. That majestic bearing, that intellectual and manly countenance, that noble brow, that burning look which he cast on the 10 Introduction. assembly, as if measuring the field of an impend¬ ing battle, that solemn sign of the cross, and the sacred words, “ Behold, thou art made whole; go and sin no more,” followed by an address, or rather a long discourse, delivered in a vibrat¬ ing, clear, and singularly sympathetic voice, with manly gesticulation and expressive action, which placed before us a living representation of the celebrated Peres Bridaine and Beauregard—all so deeply impressed me that more than thirty years have not been able to obliterate the remembrance of the scene. I shared the emotion of the peo¬ ple, and thanked God for having given such power of word and work to one of his servants. The discourse itself was not lofty, “ Noxi in sublimitate sermonis.'' but was truly apostolic. I have never heard another popular preacher rising to such a height of eloquence and speaking so well to the point. This priest, whom I heard for the first time in the church of Steenbergen, and whom I had the happiness to hear afterwards on many occasions, both in humble country churches and in the more magnificent ones of large cities, was none other than the compatriot, the old schoolmate, and in- Introduction^ II timate friend of my professor, Dr. John Theo¬ dore Beelen; it was Bernard Joseph Hafken- scheid, better known as Father Bernard, of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. To form an idea of Father Bernard’s elo¬ quence, it would be necessary to be present at his sermons. It is said that eloquence proceeds from the heart; as for him, the heart was love of God, of the Church, and of souls. Scarcely had he pronounced his text, when all eyes were fixed on him, his hearers listening to him because they^ understood him. He commenced calmly, but by degrees grew animated, and, on coming to the main point of his subject, he abandoned himself without restraint to the impassioned flights of his zeal and of his gifted soul. It was the Gos¬ pel, it was the Fathers, Jesus Christ, the Church, that spoke by his mouth. The sublime truths of faith, the eternal maxims, assumed, as it were, a living form in energetic and manly language, in expressions sometimes incorrect and unpolish¬ ed, but always plain, and occasionally border¬ ing on the familiar. His style was marked by certain , peculiarities which did not always accord with the rules of oratory, and which 12 Introduction. would not always please, if in sacred elo- quence there were question of any other art than that of saving souls, in which he certainly excelled. At times silence and gesture alone spoke more forcibly than words. The orator knew the most hidden recesses of the human heart, and seemed by his penetrating look to read one’s inmost thoughts.

    Degeneration Theory in Naturalist Novels of Benito Pérez Galdós A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael Wenley Stannard IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Ofelia Ferrán, Advisor April 2011 © Michael Wenley Stannard 2011 i Acknowledgements I should like to record my sincere thanks to Ana Paula Fereira, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) for having given me the opportunity to realize a dream of many years. My graduate career in Minnesota has been a life-changing experience, and I would not have missed it for anything. Financial support from the department to study at the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, to study Portuguese at the Universidade de Lisboa in Lisbon and to contribute to a conference at Universidad Complutense in Madrid helped significantly in rounding out my graduate student experience, as well as enabling me to collect essential material for this dissertation. I should like to thank my adviser, Ofelia Ferrán, for her help and guidance and to record my additional debt to Toni Dorca and Jaime Hanneken, who listened generously and counseled. To Toni Dorca I owe my introduction to Galdós‘s Naturalist novels which has formed the background of this dissertation. I have seen myself fundamentally as a galdosista at heart ever since. I should like to thank J.B. Shank for allowing me to prevail upon him to direct me in a course of reading that proved invaluable preparation for the study of biological and medical thought in eighteenth and nineteenth century France.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore A DISSERTATION Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Theology and Religious Studies Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy © Copyright All Rights Reserved By John H. Osman Washington, D.C. 2015 A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity: A Neglected Catechetical Text of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore John H. Osman, Ph.D. Director: Joseph M. White, Ph.D. At the 1884 Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, the US Catholic bishops commissioned a national prayer book titled the Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity and the widely-known Baltimore Catechism. This study examines the Manual’s genesis, contents, and publication history to understand its contribution to the Church’s teaching efforts. To account for the Manual’s contents, the study describes prayer book genres developed in the British Isles that shaped similar publications for use by American Catholics. The study considers the critiques of bishops and others concerning US-published prayer books, and episcopal decrees to address their weak theological content. To improve understanding of the Church’s liturgy, the bishops commissioned a prayer book for the laity containing selections from Roman liturgical books. The study quantifies the text’s sources from liturgical and devotional books. The book’s compiler, Rev. Clarence Woodman, C.S.P., adopted the English manual prayer book genre while most of the book’s content derived from the Roman Missal, Breviary, and Ritual, albeit augmented with highly regarded English and US prayers and instructions.
